During the five-year history of the Dowling Trophy, which is awarded to the Washington County Football champion each year, Salem is the only team to have it for multiple seasons.
That changed last Friday as West Washington earned the trophy in convincing fashion, 42-0.
The Senators, who have won the last three meetings in the series by a combined 126-28, didn’t waste anytime taking control of the contest.

Floyd Central’s girls’ cross country team claimed last Saturday’s regional championship at Crawford County.
The Lady Highlanders scored 46 points, Perry Central and New Albany each scored 96 and North Harrison’s girls were fourth with 114 points.
